How to make animations? There are so many ways to make animations, such as using Photoshop or Imageready.

Below are the steps of making animations. I hope this will help you much in animation making. Step1: Create a new document. Click File - New and set the width, height and name of the new file. If it is an image display, the size shouldnt beyond 174 (W)*108 (H). Of course, the size should be set as your demands. If you want to create an image display picture, you could add a 170*108 file with an image element resolution in 72 and name it as mylogo. Then, start Photoshop and input the picture that you need in your design. Click the picture and press Ctrl+A by your mouse and you will see a floating dashed box, and then press Ctrl+C to copy this picture. Click the new mylogo file you created before and press Ctrl+V to stick the picture into it. (If the picture is not in 174*108, you should change it into 174*108.) Step2: open the second picture that you need, stick it into the mylogo file in the same way. When it was stick into the file, it would cover the former picture you stick in, but it wont delete the former picture. It is because the software will only display the latest picture you stick in. Repeat the actions of modifying, copying and sticking until all the pictures that you want to display in mylogo file are completed. Adjust the layer order in layers window (Move the cursor to layers and then the cursor will turn into a hand. Click layer for a few seconds, the hand turns into a fist. At this time, you could drag the layer freely. ). Move the picture which would appear first in the animation into the first layer and the picture which would appear second in the animation into the second layer and do the same to the other layers so that you can edit easily later. Press Ctrl+S to save the mylogo file and do remember that the formats of the saved file should be PSD. Step3: start Photoshop and click file jump to iamgeready. If this step cant be done, that means the Photoshop you installed is mini version. You should set up a completion version. Normally, there should an animation window on the left-bottom and a layers window on the right-bottom on the imageready. If you cant find these two windows, you could tick off these on the window of the menu. Step4: edit the animation. The first frame on the window is defaulted to the first layer. Then click the Copy button on the animation window to copy the current frame, you will see the second frame. If you want 4 pictures, you could copy again until they were all copied. Close the eye of the first layer of

layers window, then the second frame of animation window will appear the second layer picture. Do the same to all the pictures. Step5: adjust the frame time. Click the 0 seconds of animation window, select the delay time of frame as you like. Step6: play the animation. After the adjustment of frame time, click play animation to view. View the effect and adjust the frame time until it reached your ideal effect. Step7: save animation. First, press Ctrl+S to save the mylogo file so that you could edit it if any deeds arise. Then the most important step is saving the animation in GIF format. Turn to the menu and click file-save the optimization as. On the dropped-up box, save the file as GIF and name it. The animation could be upload and display.
